"Figures of Speech" by Arthur Quinn explores the flexibility and potential of language through various figures of speech, using examples primarily from Shakespeare and the Bible. The book aims to guide readers in enhancing their writing and speaking skills by understanding and imitating these literary devices. It is noted for its engaging style and accessibility, making it suitable for students and writers alike.

The article explores the concept of alignment in artificial intelligence through the lens of language equivariance. It discusses how leveraging language structures can lead to more robust alignment mechanisms in AI systems, addressing challenges in ensuring that AI goals are in line with human intentions. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of understanding equivariance to improve AI safety and functionality.
The article discusses the implications of using "your" versus "my" in user interfaces, emphasizing how language choices can impact user experience and perception of ownership. It explores the psychological effects of these terms on user engagement and suggests best practices for enhancing clarity and inclusivity in design.
Tile Language (tile-lang) is a domain-specific language designed to simplify the creation of high-performance GPU/CPU kernels with a Pythonic syntax, built on the TVM infrastructure. Recent updates include support for Apple Metal, Huawei Ascend chips, and various performance enhancements for AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. The language allows developers to efficiently implement complex AI operations while focusing on productivity and optimization.
The article explores the implications of having larger brains, both in humans and artificial intelligence, particularly focusing on how increased neural capacity could enhance cognitive abilities and the potential for new concepts and language. It discusses the relationship between brain size, computation, and the abstraction of concepts, emphasizing the significance of "pockets of computational reducibility" in understanding complex systems. The author speculates on how larger brains might lead to richer forms of communication and a more nuanced model of the world.
Words are a powerful yet underutilized technology that can shape emotions, behaviors, and societal outcomes. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding the nuances of language, as miscommunication can lead to significant barriers in collaboration and progress. It advocates for a more rigorous approach to defining and categorizing everyday words to improve clarity and coordination among individuals and groups.
Artificial intelligence faces significant branding challenges due to its cumbersome name and the ambiguity of its abbreviation "AI," which can be confused with names like "Al." This article explores the linguistic and branding issues surrounding AI and the potential need for a rebranding before artificial general intelligence becomes mainstream.
SETL is a high-level programming language developed in the late 1960s at New York University, based on the mathematical theory of sets. It supports aggregate data types such as sets and tuples, and includes operations like union and intersection, as well as constructs for quantified boolean expressions. Influencing languages like Ada and Python, SETL has several variants including SETL2 and ISETL.
The article discusses how the Greenlandic-language version of Wikipedia, initially seen as a success, is actually filled with inaccuracies primarily due to contributions from non-speakers and reliance on poorly trained AI translations. This issue is not isolated; many lesser-known language editions on Wikipedia face similar challenges, creating a cycle of misinformation that undermines the quality of AI models trained on these texts. Consequently, the proliferation of uncorrected machine translations threatens the survival of vulnerable languages.
The article introduces JSON Query, a flexible and expandable query language designed for JSON data. It provides a variety of functions and operators for filtering, sorting, and transforming JSON objects and arrays, along with examples to illustrate its capabilities. Users can leverage a playground for experimentation and access comprehensive documentation for further reference.
